Swapping Devices
If you need to send a device for maintenance (such as
recalibration), you will need to swap it for another device to
ensure continuous monitoring and alarming.
Note:
If a device is removed without being swapped,
this will trigger a communication alarm.
When a device is swapped, the change is noted on the
Location History report (the report shows the device serial
number for a reporting period). If, during the reporting period,
the device was swapped, this event is listed in the report
summary.
To swap a device:
1
Ensure the new device has the same settings as the
device to be swapped (see
Options | System
Configuration | Locations Manager
, or refer to your
Vaisala product User Guide).
